2And when he had said this, Zenophilus said to Saturninus:

3'To whom did he give the money?'

6Zenophilus said to Saturninus:

7'Then he gave twenty pieces of money as a bribe to Silvanus the Bishop, that he might be made a priest?'

8Saturninus said:

9'Yes.'

10Zenophilus said to Saturninus:

11'Was the money laid before Silvanus?'

12Saturninus said:

13'It was laid before the Episcopal Chair.'

14Zenophilus said to Nundinarius:

15'By whom was the money taken away?'

16Nundinarius said:

17'The Bishops divided it among themselves.'

18Zenophilus said to Nundinarius:

19'Do you wish Donatus to be called?'

20Nundinarius said:

21'By all means let him come, for the people cried out about him two days after the Peace : "Hear us, O God, we wish for our fellow-citizen." '

22Zenophilus said to Nundinarius:

23'Is it certain the people cried out this?'

24He answered:

25'Yes.'
